On one hand you say snark is unwarranted because HN posters are of a higher caliber than other sites and we don't post that sort of stuff around here.
On the other hand you say people on Reddit commented without watching the whole video (commenting with incomplete data, i.e. talking out their ass) so people on HN will do the same, so telling people to watch the whole video and be informed before opening their mouth is sage advice.
If HN is so perfect with idyllic commenters who are undeserving of snark, they wouldn't be posting a response to a video without watching the whole video. A requirement of posting would be to have watched an entire video or read a whole article and not just skim the first bit and vomit out the first thing that comes to mind.
Thanks for the confirmation that this place has gone down the toilet just like the last decades have claimed Slashdot, Digg, and Reddit before it.
